These 10 questions should be easy to answer for British sports fans, and
certainly for the sports minister. Take note, Helen Grant

Following recently appointed sports minister Helen Grant’s woefully inept answers in a quiz about her supposed specialist subject: sport (watch her attempts here), Telegraph Sport have set 10 puzzlers below which you should really know, as a sports fan.

Appearing at a hockey club to promote a new government policy to help local sports clubs, Mrs Grant was ambushed by a television reporter armed with questions.

Asked by the ITV reporter who the current women’s Wimbledon tennis champion is, Ms Grant, the Conservative MP for Maidstone and The Weald, said: “Oh…erm, it’s not one of ours… but I know that Andy Murray did it for us which was absolutely fantastic and that’s the most important thing and he’s fantastic and he’s going to go bigger and bigger.”

After failing to correctly name Marion Bartoli, the French Wimbledon winner, Mrs Grant was asked to name the current FA Cup holders.
